STEAK AND BLACK BEAN CHALUPAS



Steak and Black Bean Chalupas image

Our Chopped Dinner Challenge this week was cube steak. We wanted to achieve a great flavor without overcooking the meat, and so we seared it in a screaming hot pan and made chalupas, crunchy open-faced tacos. Chopped Basket Ingredient: cube steak

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

8 corn tortillas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt
1 pound cube steak, thinly sliced into 3- to 4-inch strips, 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup beef broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 firm ripe mangoes, peeled, seeded and cut into small dice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons roughly chopped pickled jalapenos, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the tortillas: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lay the tortillas on a baking sheet, brush both sides with the oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
  • For the cube steak: Toss the steak strips with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over high heat until lightly smoking. Add half of the strips and cook, tossing until the strips are browned on all sides, but not completely cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl and repeat with the other half.
  • Remove all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoons of the oregano and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and stir with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the steak strips and any accumulated juice and simmer until thickened slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon oregano, lime zest and lime juice and mix well.
  • For the beans: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the chili powder. Cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the black beans and toss to combine. Add the broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to boil. Using a masher, smash the black beans, stirring occasionally to incorporate into the broth, until thick. Remove from the heat.
  • For the chili-lime mango: Toss the mangoes with the lime zest, lime juice, chili powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  • To assemble the chalupas, spread a thin layer of smashed black beans on each crispy corn tortilla and divide the steak among them. Top with some chili-lime mangoes and serve with lime wedges and pickled jalapenos.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked black beans from a can. If you prefer dried beans, sort and rinse them, then soak them in water overnight before cooking.
  • For a more flavorful filling, use a variety of spices in the beef mixture, such as chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • To make the tostadas ahead of time, assemble them without the toppings and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, top with the desired toppings and enjoy.
  • For a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the beef and add more black beans or other vegetables, such as corn, peppers, or zucchini.
  • Serve the tostadas with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Black bean and beef tostadas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a crispy tortilla shell, flavorful filling, and fresh toppings, these tostadas are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
